Wall Stadium promoter Jim Morton says that his third mile high banked paved oval may host a paid practice session on Saturday, October 10, if there is enough interest shown early this week. Morton said that several competitors have asked about a special session to prepare for the October 24 “Tommy Comerford Memorial” and that if enough interest is shown he will host the session.

The paid practice session would be open to cars from any division that is scheduled for the October 24 race date. Morton says that those interested in participating in the session must call the speedway office at 732-681-6400 on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday during business hours.

The “Tommy Comerford Memorial” will feature two 66-lap main events for tour type Modified stock cars offering each winner a cool $6,600 payday. A total purse of $40,000 is up for grabs at present and that could climb as the event approaches. Also on the day’s agenda will be twin main events for the Calabreeze Pools Sportsman cars, the Street Stocks and the Flanagan Retail Development Factory Stocks. The I.N.E.X. Legend Cars are slated for a 25-lap main event.

Speedway promoter Jim Morton recently released the busy schedule for October 24. Pit area gates will open at 9:30 a.m. and practice will begin at 10:30 a.m. and run until 1:30 p.m. The grandstands will open at 11:00 a.m. to the general public, while fans that purchased during the September 26 presale will have the opportunity to enter the grandstands at 10:30 a.m.

The first events on the agenda will be the three rain postponed races from September 26. Those events, 25-lappers for the Sportsman and Street Stocks and a 20-lapper for the Factory Stocks, will begin promptly at 1:45 p.m. Next up, at approximately 2:30 p.m., will be qualifying for the day’s originally scheduled events.

Then, at 3:45 p.m., the first of a pair of tour type Modified 66-lap features will be contested before the Legend Cars, Sportsman and Street Stock racers return in 25-lap features. The tour type Modifieds will then run their second 66-lapper of the day before the Factory Stocks wrap up the action in a 20-lapper.

Wall Stadium is located on Route 34 in Wall Township , N.J. , just one mile north of Garden State Parkway exit 98 and Interstate 195 exit 35B. The speedway office is open from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Information and Modified entry forms are available by calling 732-681-6400 and at www.wallspeedway.com.
